JuteIn production-volume terms the bast fibre jute is the most important natural fibre worldwide after cotton. It is mainly produced in western India. Jute fibres are long, shiny and highly resistant to tearing. They can easily be blended with other natural and synthetic fibres. These fibres are mainly used in industry, for instance in packaging and fibre-reinforced composites, but also in the home-textiles and fashion sector. Why choose sustainable jute? This renewable raw material needs little water, can be cultivated almost without pesticides or fertilisers, is recyclable, biologically degradable and produces good crop yields.
